Configuring IIS for proxying

This covers configuration of the proxy.

Andy McKay

If you are running Plone on Windows and would like to run Microsoft IIS in front of your Plone site, the you need to set up a proxy. This tutorial covers the setting up of Enfold Proxy and will allow you to run Plone behind Microsoft IIS.
Page 3 of 4.

Download the Enfold Proxy from Enfold's website.

  1. Stop IIS.
  2. Install it on the IIS server. When you install it will ask if you would like to install the proxy into the default web site. If this is the one you'd like to use then check to install it.
  3. Open the file called eep.ini in your Enfold Proxy installation directory, by default this will be c:\Program Files\Enfold Enterprise Proxy
  4. Enter a host for each Plone you would like to proxy to for example: 
    [host YourHost]
    lh_root = /
    vh_host = localhost:8080
    vh_root = Plone
  5. That's it. Access the IIS site in your browser and you will be able to access Plone.
In the above example, the vh_host is the location of your Plone instance. The vh_root is the location of the Plone site inside the server. For more information on the options, see the documentation.
